Honor recently launched its budget-friendly watch, the X5i, in China, targeting an audience seeking a device that fits their budget yet delivers a premium look. This time, Watch X5i opts for a lightweight RTOS rather than the proprietary OS you saw in Honor Watch X5. Let's discuss everything about this watch, including the expected Honor Watch X5i price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor Watch X5i Overview

Design and Display

Starting with the design, Honor has opted for a reinforced polymer fiber frame for the Honor Watch X5i to keep the device's weight down to around 28 grams. You can see that this device is a 9% thicker than the Honor Watch X5. Lookwise, you might feel it's very similar to the Apple Watch at first glance. Further, you get an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, making it suitable for day-to-day use, including light rain and workouts.

Display-wise, you get a rectangular, curved-edge AMOLED panel with a resolution of 450 x 390, which is enough to read an entire email or WhatsApp notification on the Honor Watch X5i. Along with this, you get a 60Hz refresh rate, which is huge for a smartwatch and makes scrolling feel smoother. You also get 180 watch faces on this device, which helps avoid cluttering the icons on the small screen, and this number may increase in the future.

Performance and Health tracking

Under the hood, you get a lightweight RTOS instead of the other smartwatch SoCs, such as the Snapdragon Gen series SoC you saw in the Oppo Watch X3. Though this is a trade-off, you can experience longer battery life than with other watches in day-to-day use due to the RTOS. In terms of health, you get the usual features like heart rate, SpO2, stress and sleep monitoring, and menstrual cycle tracking. Other than that, you also get 109 sports modes on this device that people rarely use.

Similarly, you can use it for around a week with the always-on display option. Regarding connectivity, this watch comes with Bluetooth 5.4. Other than that, you get two-way Bluetooth calling with this watch. With this feature, you can now easily place and receive calls without a phone in an emergency.
